Carol Herdman
Finance Director of Pyronix Ltd
I would describe Pyronix as a friendly environment where staff have a commitment to providing good service. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG after University, before moving into the manufacturing industry as a Financial Controller. I then moved to a freight forwarder for a period, before moving to Pyronix 13 years ago. Since then I have progressed from Financial Controller to Finance Director. I enjoy the fast pace of a manufacturing environment and there are always new challenges to consider, although help and support is always on hand when you need it.

Guy Dodd
Sales Director of Pyronix Ltd
Pyronix is very ethical, honest and open business. Independently owned, which gives us the freedom to innovate and react quickly to market trends and needs. With this being a privately owned company, directors and decision makers are available to their customers. Before I was an enginner, from an apprentice to an installation engineer, to a service engineer with an NSI company in Birmingham for 14 years. Working for Pyronix, I get to work in the industry that I trained to be in – in many ways I’m still and engineer at heart. The beauty of Pyronix is it gives us the opportunity to be honest to our customers, with it being independent it cares more. When I’m not here it’s golf when I get the time and my kids and that’s about all I get time for.
